 Our well is very important. Our kids use the water for drinking, washing their utensils, clothes, in general, they use the well for everyday living. Well as it's important for the kids, the community too use this water everyday for them and the animals, we need it fixed to help the community run it's daily life.
The well is in need of repair. It has not been draining well lately and the kids have been getting typhoid. We are grateful to our supports that have donated to help get the well repaired, but we still have a ways to go.

 It's sad that many rural families go through a day without a good meal, if at any. One of the most challenging moment is to see a child unhappy, unhealthy or weak because of lack of food.
We have seen it happen many times, it's really hard to have food all year around for a total number of 400 plus children all with the same need, food, without support from you. Although many times this goes unmentioned, food is always a major need, and we need some more food.

Word of mouth is our only advertising! Your support will be warmly welcomed.  We are currently trying to purchase as much food as we possibly can. January is likely to be a bit violent due to elections in the first 2 weeks; we need to buy and store it before any unrest occurs.
Throughout the year we have about 150 kids who are asking for our help to include them at VLC. We are still thinking about how many we can take; we can't take in many due to much demands and expenditures. It will be a sad thing to me if we turn out all of them, we need you, our world friends, to help with this.

Word of mouth is our only advertising! Thank you for your support! Classes throughout Uganda's schools have been suspended since March due to COVID. At RRAChild's Visionary Learning Center, however, things have been busier than ever! VLC is not only a school, it is also a permanent home for 29 boarding students and a vital source of support for the entire surrounding community. It is also a working center of food production with various crops, chickens, goats, and one mischievous cow! It is also a source of employment for several locals. We have maintained three full-time staff members during the closure and also employ other members of the faculty for other work when possible. In the past seven months we have worked hard to maintain operations as well as meet the extra challenges the pandemic has placed in our way. Shortages and price increases left many in the community short on food. We have fed anyone coming to the school looking for a meal and have also delivered bulk food items to families in need. The Ugandan government also required the construction of an additional classroom to meet social distancing requirements when classes resume. The work has been hard and the financial needs have been staggering. In the end, though, we've made it, all because of YOU, our wonderful supporters! Buildings were built, animals were fed, crops were raised, the sick were made well, and our kids continued to be given nourishment, protection, stability, comfort, and love. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us especially during these challenging times for the whole world. We wouldn't have survived without you.

We will let you know when the situation changes.
If you would still like to help, monetary donations are always needed! Food and soap are the most critical needs right now and both can be purchased locally. Classes are suspended but meals and supplies are still needed for students boarding at the school and other students and families coming to the school and sending requests for assistance.

We hope everyone is keeping safe and well in these difficult times. Most of us have already experienced the food shortages in our own shops. The same thing is starting to happen in Uganda. As well as looking after the 29 boarders at the school, hungry children from the local community still come to the school to be fed. As you all know, Eddy never turns a child away and helps out a lot in the local area. Most local families survive hand-to-mouth on a daily basis and cannot buy extra food for themselves. We would like Eddy to be able to buy some more food as it will soon run out in the rural. He would then be able to help these families when food runs out and to ensure that the children continue to be fed. We know that times are difficult for a lot of us and we are so grateful for the people that continue to give. Please donate if you can.

The kids and the community are worried to get back to old ways, fetching water from sources the animals drink from! Swampy water where the animals defecate! Water which isn't safe for drinking! Water which our kids walk long distances to get, water sources where people have to fight or wait longer to fetch it!
This is a safe and free community source where anyone can come and get water. A chain and a pedal which pulls the water broke, and servicing is needed. It will cost us about $200. Our emergency fund is completely gone, our general savings fund is miserable. 😢 We appreciate any and all donations. You can make a difference. Thank you!

As you all know, Eddy has been able to make progress with more classrooms. Unfortunately, there are no doors or windows yet. This means that when it's dry, a lot of dust ends up in the classrooms and when it's raining, the children's wall charts and the children themselves get wet and cold. 6 doors are needed at $100 each and 30 windows at $85. I know we've all had the expense of Christmas but if everyone on the page gave just $1.50, this would be more than enough to cover the cost of these items. If you've never donated before, please consider doing so this year. As always, please use the Family and Friends option on PayPal so that the school doesn't incur fees. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support. ❤️ Our official PayPal E-mail for all donations is: sajnh@yahoo.com (run by Stephen Jones, the head of RRA Child USA).
